Excerpt from Government Revenue Especially the American System as Argument for Industrial Freedom, Against the Fallacies of Free Trade At the Commencement of Cornell University, in June, 1883, Hon. Samuel Campbell, of New York Mills, proposed to provide for the delivery of a course of lectures on Political Economy, from the point of view of American legislation. Because in many institutions the instruction runs in free trade lines, but less in Cornell University than in many others, he recommended the statement of the protective policy, and of the logical grounds upon which it rests. Upon his nomination a lecturer was appointed, and in February of 1884, a course of ten lectures was delivered to the two upper classes, with members of the Board of Trustees and of the Faculty, and townspeople, for whose convenience Library Hall in the village was occupied. The Trustees of Hamilton College, at the Commencement in 1883, extended an invitation for the delivery of the same lectures at that institution. The author consented to give a part of the course there in April and May following. The substance of these lectures constitutes the present volume. It is the embodiment of studies which run back to the early boyhood of the author, when Henry Clay was in his sunset splendor.

Ellis Henry Roberts' mission is to challenge the established order with his take on government revenue and industrial freedom. In this statistically grounded work, Roberts makes a compelling argument that the government should foster a pro-business environment. This book is still very relevant, with the debates about government intervention in big business still raging on in modern times.
